Tipperary Girl

Hair of gold eyes of blue

Prettiest girl I ever knew

Skin as white as precious pearl

She was my Tipperary girl



She just chanced to pass me by

Pretty as a peach in a pumpkin pie

Fresh as a flower in full bloom

Sweet as a sunny summer's afternoon



I was smitten she got me good

I never thought that Cupid could

Speared me down into my soul

Spun me round like a batted ball

Chorus

I was courting pure romance

I asked her if she'd like to dance

Smiled at me and took my hand

Swung me 'til I couldn't stand



Chorus



She could dance and she could swing

Like a new born lamb in spring

Up and down and to and fro

Round and round and round we'd go

Chorus



I fell heads and over heels

Heart was thumping jigs and reels

Twitched and twittered I'll at ease

Like Hound dog scratching fleas



Now young and foolish Old and wise

Enter love with open eyes

Treat her right from the start

Or that Tipperary will break your heart.
